Jessica,
As I have said time and time again, I have seen demons and done battle with them on countless occasions. If I am not doing battle with demons either I am lying or crazy. Which is it? I know dozens of people who have experienced the same thing as I have. I challenge you the next time you get creeped out to say out loud "the Lord rebuke you" and see what happens. The creepiness will leave the room.

No, everyone that just heard you talking to nobody will leave the room.
And they'll come back with some nice men in white coats.
"If I am not doing battle with demons either I am lying or crazy. Which is it?"
You are bugnuts crazy.
"I know dozens of people who have experienced the same thing as I have."
They are crazy too. And you all are so co-dependent, feeding each other's psychoses, that you cannot tell the difference.
“I have seen demons and done battle with them on countless occasions”

They have antipsychotics for that, you know....
".....either I am lying or crazy."
It's not every day that you see a statement from a fundie that's 100% correct, is it?
"The Lord rebuke you" is broken English. Not only are giving a command to your god, without a 'please' no less, you're doing it wrong.
Pray for forgiveness, and show the Lord you mean it by never giving advice on the Internet again.
Thanks to being taught this, I spent many nights awake and terrified, despite how much I said, "I rebuke you!" or whatever it was.
@Lefty Link:
It's a lightsaber.
Don't listen to em kid. They used say I was crazy, but they won't be laughing when i'm finished with them, oh soon frankie soon we'll show em all yes we will. once i'm free from this cell i'll burn them alll to the ground. once my powers come back, i'll be out of here so fast it'll make history, no prision in the world can hold Frank The Dinosaur, you hear me guards? you'll get what's coming to you. if you do not bow to Frank The Giant Bacteria and accept me as your lord, you'll suffer the death of a thousand Ab toxins. Oh once I figure out how to shoot laser beams Frank The Spacewhale will be ready to swim in the oceans of space once again. you'll see. you'll all see.
"As I have said time and time again, I have seen demons and done battle with them on countless occasions."
Many people have also "seen" 50-foot-tall pink elephants.
Judging by your comments, you're probably crazy... but in your defense, it's possible that you're just honestly mistaken.
I have a cousin who used to see gigantic monsters... until he had to go to rehab.
It's more likely that the other people in the room will ask YOU to leave. Then the "creepiness" really will have left the room.
"The Lord rebuke you" is broken English."
Actually, it's an archaic Middle English subjunctive, expressing a hope/wish. The equivalent in Modern English would be "May the Lord rebuke you." In Middle English, the word "may" wasn't necessary to express this subjunctive mode. It's broken in Modern English, but not Middle English (which Fundies love to use).
But this illustrates the silliest aspect of the Fundie mindset: prayers used literally as magical phrases. I'd like to ask Scott, "If I say, 'May the Lord rebuke you," instead of, 'The Lord rebuke you,' will the invocation fail? Do I have to say those four exact words to banish a demon? How about saying, "The Lord banish you?" Hey, if I waved a wand and said, 'Expellio Daemonem,' would that work?"
I wonder what he'd say.....
If I am not doing battle with demons either I am lying or crazy.
I don't care which, as long as you know it's one or the other
You might just as well say "Peanut-butter and jelly sandwich", the creepiness will leave the room after that statement too.
I'd say you're lying and you're crazy.
I am lying or crazy. Which is it?
Not sure yet but, on balance of probabilities, I'm gonna go with lying.
"either I am lying or crazy"
Why is it an "OR" case? What's preventing it from being BOTH?
I'm going to go with "AND".
You are lying AND crazy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
